Hi. Has anyone tried this to remove the stench of chemicals/fab softener from hand me downs? I am curious about trying it on dark colors as well.

We did. We tried to strip hand-me-down dipes of built up detergent and to get them absorbent again. It didn't work for us. I have heard great things about RLR, but we couldn't seem to get a few packets to work...

I fill up my fabric softener reservoir with distilled white vinegar. Been doing it for years, and it works really great, no staticy clothes!

Each tablet makes about 16oz of product, so you would need the appropriate number of tablets, if it's a fabric you're trying to save, you would also want to check for colorfastness. I don't see why it wouldn't remove the stain and/or odor though.

Hi there Mark,Most of the time I have been using a product called "dropps" with the gain flings, but I have used fabric softener as well with things like my sheets, etc. I am all about scents & smells & I will try to make whatever I wash have a great smell to it. I smell everything in the stores, and if it complements or enhances the smell of the other products, then I will use it. I think it is just a matter of what you like & what you want to do.

It says launders while removing allergens on the side. I use it most of the time. For tough stains I use regular detergent. I would never mix with Another product. You don't know if there wiuld be a negative chemical reaction

I has worked for me, if you scrub it in good with a broom or stiff brush, is pretty good to remove odor too.

I used this product to remove years of grime from antique negatives and a few prints. It did remove some adhesive from a black and white print. Could you try it in an inconspicuous area first? You could also ask at a professional photographic store--not a big box photo department--that does specialty processing.

Not sure, but it will not hurt to try. I've found this cleaner to be very safe on colors and all fabric types. If this doesn't work, you might try WD40.

I think it is worth a try - it will not effect the fabric. You may have to follow up with an oder remover, like Fabreze for cars, but this product does get rid of the odors associated with the stain.

This product works really well for stains on our light colored quartz sink. I like the powder form. It's similar to Comet. It does not have a strong smell. It doesn't list ingredients. The label says, CAUTION: Contains oxalic acid. Do not ingest, inhale, or get in eyes. Keep away from children. Harmful if swallowed. I hope this helps.

I have not had this problem but I have not found anything that Fabreeze Laundry Odor Eliminator has not worked on. I hope you give it a try.

It would work pretty well on a small spot treated (scrubbed) by hand. I don't think it will do anything except spread the ink if you tried to use in washer. Goof off is similar to dry cleaning fluid. It's pretty amazing on some stuff, but I think you're probably out of luck. Sorry. I just hate it when that "pen in the washer" incident happens.

My daughter doesn't spit up for this, but she always has stains from other things (strawberries, spaghetti, etc.), and I have found 2 things that have worked and made her clothing look somewhat new (wish I would have known for baby#1)...Oxyclean Max Force Spray works well if sprayed soon after the stain and allowed to soak in. For tougher stains, or stains not treated right away, I used Oxy Clean Baby (the powder) mixed in a bucket of water (cool water) with 2-3 scoops and allow the item to sit for at least a day. Be careful though...some fabrics lose their brightness of color...It works best for things mostly white.

I have used the product to remove stains from my sun porch and patio, both have cement floors. I apply a very liberal amount to the spot and let it sit (I do not blot or wipe it away). Then if the smell is not gone I respray it again the next day. This usually works. I do not add any other detergents or cleaners just the Nature's Miracle. To me the hard floor NM does work better on set in stains. I hope this helps.

Hi C.A., I bought this product to eliminate odors in my front loading washer . I was sorely disappointed in it's ineffectiveness.... I have used it for cooking odors too and was not impressed. I had high hopes for this product and was really let down. I would imagine that it would rid the attic of mustiness for a short time but if you have strong odors in your attic (perhaps from an animal invasion) I would not rely on this to rid the attic of odors. Hope this helps....D.K.R.

I've been using this stuff for quite a while & I was really put off by the color as well. It used to be so much darker. Mine did not have a bad smell ... it just seemed like they had diluted it. I contacted the company & they said that they have a new "processing system" but they assured me that they weren't diluting it. I don't know if I believe it because it doesn't seem to have the same effects that it had before. With that said, I am still using it.
